Established in 1897, the Dalwhinnie Distillery stands as one of the highest distilleries in Scotland, situated at an elevation of 1,164 feet.

Crafted with meticulous care, Dalwhinnie 15 Year Old undergoes a carefully orchestrated production process. The journey begins with the selection of the finest malted barley, which is milled and combined with pure water sourced from nearby Lochan-Doire-Uaine. The mash is then fermented, and the resulting wash is distilled twice in copper pot stills, ensuring the utmost purity and refinement in every drop. Finally, the whisky is aged for a minimum of 15 years in oak casks, allowing it to develop its rich and complex flavours.
